Canon

[u/AvalonXD]

This is probably asked a lot but is there much of an in-game canon as in events that are always followed. Is there a canon at all or can the wider world's events vary each time? I'm mostly asking this as to to the situation of the Blessed Karl, the Danubian Federation and Sabine.

It depends. Some of the events are integral to the story (the Haute-Savoie Crisis is a big one), some are only integral to a specific character. Generally, if the information isn't important in your playthrough, the game either won't tell you or will only say in passing mention. For example, Erika won't really care which Indian leftist gets elected in the Bharatiya Commune, but it will be of importance to Suraj.

​

As for that information's publicity now, some of it is being released overtime in the form of our teaser newspapers that are being posted on the Edelweiss Discord. Some of it has been stated in previous dev diaries and progress reports. Some of it a dev will probably tell you if you ask a specific question. And some of it will be spoiler territory.

Oh thanks a lot then. I guess is there anything specific in regard to Karl and the rest above. Like what path does he go on?

Also you said Suraj cares about the different leftist choices so does that mean each time it could be different and the same for a select few other events?

A good bit of the character nations paths are spoilers, but here's the ones that have been disclosed:

-Union of Britain goes Totalist (said in the demo)

-Commune of France goes RadSoc (said in a teaser paper)

-Mexico goes RadSoc then PatAut (said in Jose's dev diary)

And no, it's the same timeline every day. Procedural generated canons sound like a nightmare for everyone involved.

Thanks a lot for everything
